no one seems to be replying in this post anymore, but it won't hurt to ask.is there a way to wire in the capacitor from the microwave and add a choke to the system and get a smoother weld? I have a sewing machine rheostat that i intend to hook up between plug and transformer in place of the scariac. are these just good ways to burn down your house and stop your heart? I know the capacitor is dangerous. I keep reading wiki pages and instructions, but nothing sticks. I am having a hard time teaching myself how to make do the lectrocities.
